Biomechanical Measures of Neuromuscular Control and Valgus Loading of the Knee Predict Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk in Female Athletes: A Prospective Study
Tập 33 Số 4 - Trang 492-501 - 2005
Background Female athletes participating in high-risk sports suffer anterior
cruciate ligament injury at a 4- to 6-fold greater rate than do male athletes.
Hypothesis Prescreened female athletes with subsequent anterior cruciate
ligament injury will demonstrate decreased neuromuscular control and increased
valgus joint loading, predicting anterior cruciate ligament injury risk. Study
Design Cohort...
The Long-term Consequence of Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscus Injuries
Tập 35 Số 10 - Trang 1756-1769 - 2007
The objectives of this study are to review the long-term consequences of
injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament and menisci, the pathogenic
mechanisms, and the causes of the considerable variability in outcome. Injuries
of the anterior cruciate ligament and menisci are common in both athletes and
the general population. At 10 to 20 years after the diagnosis, on average, 50%
of those with a dia...
Fate of the ACL-injured Patient
Tập 22 Số 5 - Trang 632-644 - 1994
We followed 292 patients who had sustained an acute traumatic hemarthrosis for a
mean of 64 months. The KT-1000 arthrometer measurements within 90 days of injury
revealed the injured knee was stable in 56 pa tients and unstable in 236.
Forty-five unstable patients had an ACL reconstruction within 90 days of injury.
Sur gical procedures performed >90 days after injury in cluded ligament
reconstruct...
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Tập 37 Số 11 - Trang 2259-2272 - 2009
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been utilized in surgery for 2 decades; there has
been a recent interest in the use of PRP for the treatment of sports-related
injuries. PRP contains growth factors and bioactive proteins that influence the
healing of tendon, ligament, muscle, and bone. This article examines the basic
science of PRP, and it describes the current clinical applications in sports
medici...
The Role of the Scapula in Athletic Shoulder Function
Tập 26 Số 2 - Trang 325-337 - 1998
The exact role and the function of the scapula are misunderstood in many
clinical situations. This lack of awareness often translates into incomplete
evaluation and diagnosis of shoulder problems. In addition, scapular
rehabilitation is often ignored. Recent research, however, has demonstrated a
pivotal role for the scapula in shoulder function, shoulder injury, and shoulder
rehabilitation. This k...
Muscle Injuries
Tập 33 Số 5 - Trang 745-764 - 2005
Muscle injuries are one of the most common traumas occurring in sports. Despite
their clinical importance, few clinical studies exist on the treatment of these
traumas. Thus, the current treatment principles of muscle injuries have either
been derived from experimental studies or been tested only empirically. Although
nonoperative treatment results in good functional outcomes in the majority of
at...
Impingement syndrome in athletes
Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 151-158 - 1980
Athletes, particularly those who are involved in sporting activ ities requiring
repetitive overhead use of the arm (for example, tennis players, swimmers,
baseball pitchers, and quarterbacks), may develop a painful shoulder. This is
often due to impinge ment in the vulnerable avascular region of the
supraspinatus and biceps tendons. With the passage of time, degeneration and
tears of the rotator c...
Abnormal lower limb symmetry determined by function hop tests after anterior cruciate ligament rupture
Tập 19 Số 5 - Trang 513-518 - 1991
This study assessed the sensitivity of four different types of one-legged hop
tests. The goal was to deter mine alterations in lower limb function in ACL
deficient knees. Regression analyses were conducted between limb symmetry as
measured by the hop tests and muscle strength, symptoms, and self-assessed func
tion. In 67 patients, 50% had abnormal limb symmetry scores on a single hop
test. When th...
Treatment of Chronic Elbow Tendinosis with Buffered Platelet-Rich Plasma
Tập 34 Số 11 - Trang 1774-1778 - 2006
Background Elbow epicondylar tendinosis is a common problem that usually
resolves with nonoperative treatments. When these measures fail, however,
patients are interested in an alternative to surgical intervention. Hypothesis
Treatment of chronic severe elbow tendinosis with buffered platelet-rich plasma
will reduce pain and increase function in patients considering surgery for their
problem. Stud...
Autologous Chondrocyte Transplantation
Tập 30 Số 1 - Trang 2-12 - 2002
We evaluated the durability of autologous chondrocyte transplantation grafts in
61 patients treated for isolated cartilage defects on the femoral condyle or the
patella and followed up for a mean of 7.4 years (range, 5 to 11). Durability was
determined by comparing the clinical status at the long-term follow-up with that
found 2 years after the transplantation. After 2 years, 50 of the 61 patients...
